1. Program Overview The mission of Osaka University is to nurture outstanding individuals who possess a high sense of ethics and wish to become global citizens and leaders in a variety of fields worldwide under the objective of “Live Locally, Grow Globally”. For this reason, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics, and the Department of Chemistry in the School of Science have established the International Undergraduate Program in Science for international students. The program will take 4.5 years in total and award a bachelor’s degree. This program is overseen by the International College of Osaka University. The outline of the program is: ・ Entrance examinations are conducted in English for each department. ・ For six months prior to enrollment, Osaka University will offer intensive

Japanese language education and some preliminary science classes depending on the chosen major.

・ Enrolled students mainly take classes in English at the beginning of the undergraduate program. In the first 1.5 years of the program, students study liberal arts subjects and major subjects in English and/or Japanese together with Japanese undergraduate students.

・ Osaka University offers advanced Japanese language education for the first 1.5 years.

・ Students then focus on specific subjects in the students' respective majors, which are taught mainly in Japanese.
